I found these photos on a Friends Facebook Photo Album, just wondered if it belongs to a Member on here? Looks quite tidy! :cool:

Hi ive been thinking for some time now with very mixed views on what sort of power i will be expecting once the car is finished. I would like around 600bhp at the fly what do you guys think? No idea on torque. New spec list to date: Engine mod's: GT28RS turbo's (Disco potato) HKS actuators, Greg dupree inconel exhaust manifolds, Greg dupree Specially Z 3" Stainless steel split down pipes, Greg dupree 3" flexi de-cats, Haward & Scott rear boxes, Ported & skimmed heads, Ported plenum, Ported inlet manifold, JWT 400+ aggressive race cams, JWT heavy duty vtc springs, Wiseco pistons 88.0 slight over bore, Eagle H beam Con…

Its been like it for ages now but decided today to do something about it. Basically the left hand exhaust 'splutters' whereas the right hand one is as it should be. I changed the coil packs over left to right but its still the same, however I did notice the spark plug in the rear-right (looking from the front) had a bit of oil on the threads, not a great deal though. Would this indicate a problem? I've done a search but not really found the answers. What would I need to check now? :blink: thanks in advance, the car goes ok but I can't help but think its not as good as it could be! :scooter:

Hi all. Saw a pearl white import today G reg parked up on Petersham road. Was it you?

http://www.halfords.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/product_storeId_10001_catalogId_10151_productId_391259_langId_-1_categoryId_165538 in the link above it shows a bulb i need but in a higher watt does anyone know were i can get this bulb pictured but in 12v 21w please tryied halfords and wilko but they dont stock them, its just a pain as they are for my indicators

I'm trying to decide weather or not to give my car a slight Bodykit and i'm looking for options. fromt, back and side skirts. I'd like to see some pics of White Z's whith kits on to see what they look like then i can decide which way to go. I may just change the front, back or add sideskirts (or a combination/full kit) but i'd like to see some efforts before i make up my mind. If you have any pics of White z's with Kits on them, please share :) Peter

A big thanks to Jeff, Jamie and Lynda! I collected my car this morning after having the A/C pump replaced. And it was much needed on the drive home - it was hot and sunny outside but once again the inside of the car was like a fridge. Excellent!! Oh, and I had some new front discs/pads fitted which have definitely improved braking; an oil and filter change and a good undersealing!! Thankfully the underside of the car is clean and sound. It looked OK from what I could see when I bought it last year, but is was comforting to hear Jeff say it was good. So not all UK cars are rusty!!! Finally a "get well soon" message to Jamie's wife as she is not very wel…

Not sure about this Guess he had his reasons though :lol: http://www.pistonheads.co.uk/sales/largepic.asp?i=1818888&noPics=9&make=NISSAN&model=300ZX&imgsrv=1&current=3

Do these have to be red? I'd like to change mine to clear or smoked. These are the ones at the sides of the car - not the ones on the rear lights. do they have to light up or is that only in certain countries?

Hi I have a 1994 twin turbo 300 zx. The car feels like the turbos are not working on full power. They were replaced 12 months ago and the guy who I got the car off said he had the adjusted for economy. Is this correct??? Can anything be done??? It just seems a bit slow

Just fitted these I quite like them .Im quite sure some will feel the need to :hurl:but they are just:xxx:(I like smilies too lol):thumbup1::clap:

saw a black 2+2 in carpark for hiQ oppersite sainsbury in wakefield 1st one i`ve seen up here ..

I am looking to replace/upgrade the original ones on my Zed. Are the driftworks ones a good option? And do they represent good value at about £130 delivered? Thanks for any advice.

I bought JDM TT and maximum speed control is 68 mph. It is too small. US and europe version have 110 mph speed control. How adjust speed control ECU for larger speed? Any resistors must be remove/adjust.

black zed on A40 nice motor had a little wave and toot also, just a shame we couldnt open them up (bloody traffic)

Had an issue a while ago with my injectors dying, so managed to replace them with help from some very helpful/ generous members (thanks again!). Anyway this is what greeted me the first time round, which i assumed was due to overfuelling and the unspent fuel being recycled as it were into the plenum..thing is it`s STILL like it, not as bad but none the less. One of the injectors had shed 2/3rds of its cap and i`m now starting to wonder if one of the valves has been damaged at all. Removed sparks, none are covered in oil or owt so assume rings are ok. I`m resealing the rockers as the half moons and fronts seem to be leaking hence the plenum being off again. I also se…

Castrol magnetic 5 /30 semi or Castrol magnetic 5/ 30 fully sim i have uk tt man average comprestion and origanal 85k no leakes but new tubs?

Saw it parked outside a rather nice house this afternoon whilst out on my bike ride. G*** PAH

Just fitted an after market led plasma tachometer but having a problem with the data. Powers up fine and does a self test but no signal from pin number 7 from the ECU which should be the tach signal. Also tested the signal wire with a multimeter and measures only in mA. Any advice lads?

Just wondered after looking at the average zed owner tread, It seems that quite and few of you guys own more than one Zed. Now i understand 1 might be for parts or a donor but why do some of you own 3-4 Zeds? and some of which seems the same spec i.e 3 N/As etc. i dont get it. and as for the donor thing surely its more convenient to just buy the part needed as the spare car your breaking is never likely to have all bits working anyways? share your views

right after a few days of fighting it again... i got the cylinder head off, and it dont look good, i was expecting there to be oil in the cylinder, due to either blow valve piston ring, or turbo... and there nothing like that help # the cylinder on the left is the one thats not firing, i dont know what it meens but compared with the good 2, its dryer, and generally more brown, looks almost burnt i dont know what it means, but there no oil in there? so can it be piston rings or valves?, im very confused...

I'm not a regular contributor but need to say what an excellent job I had done recently at Zedword and I'm probably repeating what a lot of you know anyway. I had a good local (old boy) garage that sold up and had to start using one in town with the best reputation. 2 years and some considerable cost later I took all the car's little niggles that no one seemed able to fix to Zewword. They changed all the brakes back and front, fixed a petrol leak that has been slowly poisoning me for the last year, fixed a stalling problem that has been driving barmy for at least 18 month and tuned and serviced the car within budget and spotted a couple of other disasters performed by…

Just received my stillen lip and im really pleased both with the item and service thank you Mike

Don't want to repeat previous discussions on this, but have read all of the posts on the subject and would be grateful for some answers to the following questions: - I currently have a NA Manual; - Always used standard supermarket fuel; - no issues with performance. If I decide to use V-Power: - will it make any difference and if yes, how long will it take for me to notice anything, i.e. instant or after 1-2 tankfuls? - how big a difference is it likely to make? - Is there any benefit is waiting until my current tank is empty or will a 50% mix be useful? Thanks.

saw you sitting in layby in town. went round roundabout to come back and see who it was but you started moving as i was on the otherside. i waved from my work car and saw you waving back... having a browse i think its Taff?
